With two kids in public school, I can say that I love a lot of what we have to offer and that I hate a lot of what we have to offer. The frustrating part is that I am sure we can fix a lot of what I hate about it – and being a commissioner, I would have hoped to have accomplished more. But what a slow boat to turn.

At the same time, I have often thought that kids coming out of public schools are more ready for “the real world”.
